How to nurse after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can enlarge the chest and improve the female figure by implanting silicone prosthesis or autologous fat. Postoperative care is very important to accelerate wound healing and reduce complications. The following will elaborate on the nursing after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
Postoperative chest support
The postoperative chest needs to be fully supported and protected. It is essential to wear the special pressure bra recommended by the doctor within a few days after the operation. The bra has good support performance, can relieve postoperative pain, and helps to maintain the position of the chest prosthesis stable. In addition, in the four to six weeks after the operation, it is necessary to avoid high-intensity physical activity and strenuous exercise to avoid impact and friction on the chest.
At the same time, it is also very important to maintain good posture. Postoperative chest rest is required to avoid bending, twisting, weight lifting and other movements, so as to avoid adverse effects on the wound.
In addition, chest massage should be carried out regularly. Massage can promote blood circulation, relieve postoperative chest swelling and edema, and maintain the natural shape of the chest.
Pay attention to wound cleaning
The cleaning of wound after operation is an important measure to prevent infection. For several days after the operation, the wound should be gently cleaned with warm water and proper amount of physiological saline every day. During cleaning, avoid wiping the wound with force to avoid irritation and infection. After cleaning the wound, you can gently apply the disinfectant ointment to prevent infection.
At the same time, try to avoid activities such as bath and swimming in a few weeks after the operation to avoid infection. It is also very important to keep the wound dry. You can use a hair dryer to dry the skin around the wound at low temperature to avoid moisture retention and infection.
Take medicine on time
After the operation, the doctor will prescribe some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs according to the specific situation. The correct use of these drugs is very important for preventing infection and alleviating pain. Take the medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions within a few days after the operation, and feed back the medication effect and existing problems to the doctor in time during the follow-up after the operation.
Regular follow-up visits and good attitude
Postoperative chest recovery is a gradual process, which requires a certain amount of time. In a few months after the operation, you should regularly go to the hospital for further consultation and receive the doctor's inspection and guidance. The doctor will adjust the nursing plan according to the specific situation of the patient to ensure the health recovery of the chest after surgery.
In addition, it is normal that the shape and feeling of the chest after surgery may be different from what was expected. The patient should maintain a good attitude, trust the professional judgment of the doctor, and wait patiently for the final stability of the postoperative effect.
Summary
Nursing after breast augmentation surgery includes chest support, wound cleaning, correct use of drugs, and regular follow-up. Through reasonable nursing, the occurrence of complications can be reduced and the speed of postoperative recovery can be accelerated. At the same time, patients should maintain a good attitude in the nursing process and trust the professional advice of doctors in order to obtain satisfactory postoperative results.
